Oscillatory solutions of singular equations arising in hydrodynamics [PDF]
We investigate the singular differential equation (p(t)u (t)) = p(t)f (u(t)) on the half-line [0, ∞), where f satisfies the local Lipschitz condition on R and has at least two simple zeros.

Comparison theorems for fourth order differential equations
This paper establishes an apparently overlooked relationship between the pair of fourth order linear equations yiv − p(x)y = 0 and yiv + p(x)y = 0, where p is a positive, continuous function defined on [0, ∞). It is shown that if all solutions of the first equation are nonoscillatory, then all solutions of the second equation must be nonoscillatory as ...

Oscillation criteria for certain nonlinear fourth order equations
This work investigates the behavior of solutions of certain nonlinear fourth order differential equations. An example is given showing that these equations can have both oscillatory and nonoscillatory solutions simultaneously. Finally, several criteria for the existence of oscillator solutions are established.

Qualitative properties of solutions of certain fourth order linear differential equations
This work considers differential equations of the form where p, q and r are positive continuous functions defined on [0, ∞). The main concentration is on the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Such an investigation is important because the above equation often arises in the study of mechanical vibrations.

Sturmian theorems for systems of differential equations
Two Sturmian theorems are established for second order linear nonhomogeneous systems of two differential equations with the use of a maximum principle. The results also hold for homogeneous systems. For illustration, an example is given.
